This would be too embarrassing for No. 7 and Joanna.
They were originally just two assassins. Although they were very famous, they were just assassins after all, and they usually only did some killing jobs.
Maybe the people they kill are extremely influential, and the death of these targets will cause great turmoil, but in the end, this is something for the employer to consider, not something they need to care about.
But now, such a document has fallen into the hands of this small group of assassins. If you are not careful, there is no telling how many people's lives will be completely changed.
"Um..." Leang scratched his head, "It sounds like you didn't originally intend to get such a difficult document?"
After all, this document is not a wallet dropped on the street and can be picked up casually. It was originally stored in Marshall's apartment, and No. 7 took the initiative to steal it.
Regarding Liang's question, No. 7's face darkened slightly: "It's a trap."
"trap?"
Joanna replied for the unarticulate No. 7: "Actually, we didn't even know that such a document existed in the first place, let alone take the initiative to steal it. What we were looking for at the beginning was another piece of information.
The whereabouts - about the 'key'."
Considering that the "Secret Key" would cause Leon an inexplicable headache, Joanna still referred to it as "Key".
"Ever since we decided to kill Vin Noyes, we have been collecting all kinds of intelligence. Not long ago, we learned that someone in Caspars might know the whereabouts of the 'key', so we took a
We got on the last land cruiser and arrived at Caspars before the Storm Moon." Joanna smiled bitterly, "Who knew, as soon as we got off the ship, we saw Vin Noyes and found that he happened to be in Caspars.
Paz.”
"Did you come at that time? Well, Wein seemed to have mentioned it too." Leon recalled that before the arrival of the Storm Moon, he and Wein went to the land carrier station to send James Wensley aboard to Sudden Valley.
The last land cruiser in the world, at that time Wein said he saw the "Regicide" in the crowd. Although Wein said it was a joke at the time, he later admitted that he had indeed witnessed the appearance of the "Regicide".
Joanna smiled: "Oh, we were quite nervous at that time and thought we had fallen into his trap, but he seemed to pretend that he didn't see us. It was also at that time that we discovered that you were following him."
"After arriving in Caspars, we first went to look for the person who might have collected information about the 'key', but we found that the person was already dead."
Leon suddenly had a bad premonition: "Who is that person?"
"Wilfa Stephen, that should be the name." Joanna recalled, "He is a famous critic in Caspars on the surface, and he is involved in music, opera and other fields, but secretly, this
Mr. Stephen is also a collector of ancient books."
Leon's heart clicked.
Wilfa Stephen…
Isn't this the victim of the first case he handled after coming to this world? He used the "Candle of Time" to create the "Fog of Time" with the intention of changing something in the past, but was killed by the "Hunter"
.This case was eventually forced to terminate the investigation due to the arrival of the Imperial Envoy, and the case was left unresolved.
Joanna noticed the change in Leon's expression: "Do you know that Mr. Stephen?"
"Yes, and I roughly know how he died." Leon told the story in general.
After listening to the brief case statement, Rosetta marveled: "There is actually a candle that can change the past, and the method is so simple, just light it?"
"The premise is that the user must have a way to deal with the so-called 'Hunter'." Joanna patted Rosetta on the head, "Although I have not fought in person, but from this description, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to survive in front of the 'Hunter'.
But maybe No. 7..."
"It's hard to kill." No. 7 shook his head.
Although they have the incredible ability of "reality distortion", "Hunters" are also extraordinary creatures in the time domain. They are powerful and secretive. Even if No. 7 can kill one head-on, under the pursuit of multiple "Hunters"
It is also difficult to save one's life.
"If Mr. Stephen really collected information about the 'key', then the matter may not be that simple." Leon's expression fell, "Is it possible that this is also part of that guy Vin's calculations?"
"Who knows. Speaking of which, you found signs of interference from others in Stephen's death, but you didn't continue the investigation, right?"
Leon nodded. The direct cause of Stephen's death was that he was attracted by the movement near the window - to be precise, someone smashed his window with stones. When he opened the curtains, he created a shadow, allowing the "hunter" to "
He found the shadow in the realm of "the realm of radiance" and was able to enter reality.
As for who the mysterious man outside the window was, the case was forced to be closed before the investigation could produce any results.
Joanna pondered for a few seconds and said: "We also found some clues about this Mr. Stephen. Maybe you, no, you don't know."
Leon twitched the corner of his mouth. Joanna meant that the Vin guy might know, but didn't tell him: "What?"
"With Wilfa Stephen's normal income, it is not enough to meet his needs for collecting ancient books. After we conducted a private investigation, we found that Wilfa Stephen always had an extra huge amount of income. The account that gave him money was traced back to the source.
